Helping Families Thrive Christi Hurd, MA, NBCT

Stress and Help for our Elementary and Preschool Kids

We were struggling before with how to approach our precocious first grader, so just talking through things with Christi and coming up with new ideas helped. The last couple of "family meetings" we had with our daughter resulted in positive changes for everyone involved. It was also extremely helpful to have a thinking partner to reflect on some of the difficult episodes especially. It allowed us to take some of the emotions out of them and view it more objectively.

Transformation with my Adult Daughters!

I had tried several therapists to help my adult twin daughters and I work through the death of my wife-- their mother. They share a special bond that most people cannot understand.  And they were stuck.

Christi, being a twin herself, understood the dynamic of twin sisters and brought a lot of personal insight. With her patience and understanding, we co-created action steps to help me connect with my daughters to bring deeper healing.                                                                                   

I will be forever grateful.

Blended Family Issues with High School and Elementary Kids

I attended a parenting workshop at my son's school where Christi was the speaker. I was very interested in everything she said & signed up for a coffee session to see how she could help my family. I have worked with Christi for several months & my family has never been more in-tune with each other! I have a blended family & we struggled with acceptance, communication & respect but those are no longer issues! Christi has given me the tools I need to have the family & household that works together & is unified. God bless this women! She has definitely changed my life for the better! I look forward to continuing to work with her as my kids grow & new issues arise. I highly recommend reaching out to see what she can do for you. All parents need someone like Christi to have in their corner to encourage & support them.

Dealing with Middle Schoolers and Adopted Children

Things are just so much clearer. I think I was overthinking so many things, and it was all pretty normal. I was just stressing out because my expectations needed to change to match my children's developmental age. I also learned to reflect on the things I was doing right, and how I was actually a good parent. It was very helpful to learn about my parenting style. I also loved coming up with a family mission statement.

Grief and Help to Carry On Without Dad

I met Christi in March 2025 after attending one of her free parenting workshops—and I've been incredibly grateful ever since.

Following the sudden loss of my children's father, I was overwhelmed, heartbroken, and unsure how to best support my sons while navigating my own grief. Christi gently guided me through this difficult season by helping me set small, manageable goals that made a big impact. With her support, I've been able to repair and deepen my relationships with my boys in ways I didn't think were possible.

Each week, Christi provides actionable steps and thoughtful insights that not only help me show up as a more confident, grounded parent-but also help me rebuild trust in myself as a person. I'm slowly rediscovering my own strength, and that personal growth has rippled into every area of my life.

Christi has a gift for listening without judgment, offering perspective with compassion, and celebrating even the smallest wins. Her coaching has been a lifeline, and I truly can't recommend her enough to any parent seeking hope, healing, and real change.
